Foyle's War: The Eternity Ring (2013)
Foyle's War - The Eternity Ring (#8.1)
I thoroughly enjoyed this new episode of the new series of Foyle's War and the attention to detail at the then time was very good except for one important detail. In this episode to make it look like 1945/6 London a red London double decker bus was seen to be moving about. This bus was not an RT but a Route Master which did not enter service until 1956/7 at the earliest and so this lack of attention to detail was pure slap-dash haste. The characters were played to perfection by the various actors and actresses. The prefabs were very good but i did not see any gardens attached to them. I say this in as much that my maternal grandparents had an asbestos built prefab in Ramsgate, Kent just after the war which was part of an estate of prefabs at Summerfield Gardens and which were still there until the early 1970's before being torn down to make way for brick built housing - they all had gardens front and back. My parents moved from a flat to a Canadian/American style wooden board built prefab in 1955 on Ramsgate's Newington Estate and they had front and rear gardens but were replaced with brick built housing in the late 1960's. So i wonder why there were no gardens shown or even boundary fences between the prefabs.
